nSIRCO VMLoad break switches with visible breaking from 63 to 250 A

Function

Advantages

SIRCO VM are manually operated modular multipolar load break switches. They assure on-load making and breaking and provide safety isolation for any LV circuit.

Reliability and performanceThe double breaking per pole, achieved through its sliding bar contact system, is a proven design that offers very high durability and short-circuit withstand. The quick opening and rapid closure of the SIRCO’s contacts, combined with specifically designed arcing chambers, provides the SIRCO AC with improved breaking performance.

Improved safetyThanks to the double visible breaking, the operator can visually check the status of the device during preventive checks before working on the installation.

Extensive rangeThe SIRCO VM range is very extensive; from 63 A to 250 A, 3 and 4 poles, with many accessories.

General characteristics • Positive break indication • Visible double break per phase • DIN-rail mounting, panel or modular panel with 45 mm front cut out

• Device and IP20 accessories. • Severe load duty categories (AC-22 and AC-23).

SIRCO VM units with visible breaking are particularly suitable for connection enclosures. They allow the operator to safely isolate the top network system from the reserved bottom system.The visible breaking enables additional visual checks before intervening.
